Upon his appointment in August, Mr Dai highlighted that with Taiwan' s 5G roll-out and TBC' s broadband growth strategy, APTT is heading for an exciting journey.
APTT is the first listed business trust in Asia focused on pay-TV and broadband businesses and has an investment mandate to acquire controlling interests in and to own, operate and maintain mature, cash generative pay-TV and broadband businesses in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore.

Asian Pay Television Trust
On Sept 10, the CEO of the Trustee-Manager of Asian Pay Television Trust Asian Pay Tv Tr: S7OU +3.88% (APTT), Brian McKinley acquired 400,000 units of APTT at 13.1 cents per unit.
With a consideration of S$52,400, this took his total interest in the business trust from 0.09 per cent to 0.11 per cent.
Prior to his appointment as CEO in April 2017, Mr McKinley was the chief financial officer of the trustee-manager, an office he held since the listing of APTT in May 2013, providing financial and strategic leadership to the company.
On Aug 13, APTT reported that for its Q2 2021 (ended 30 June), revenue decreased 2.3 per cent from Q2 2020 to S$73.7 million, while Ebitda gained 1.3 per cent from Q2 2020 to S$45.2 million, with the Ebitda margin improving by 2.4 percentage points to 61.4 per cent.
With the results, Mr McKinley noted that for four consecutive quarters, APTT has recorded revenue growth in both S$ and NT$, compared to the prior corresponding period. This reflects the success of its intensive marketing outreach to win subscribers away from the main competitor, by focusing on the broadband only segment and by offering higher speed plans at competitive prices.
Mr McKinley added that during Q2FY21, APTT recorded higher average revenue per user, alongside 9,000 more subscribers, which brought the growth of the broadband subscribers to 22 per cent over the past 30 months, while the increasing revenue from data backhaul also contributed to the higher broadband revenue.
Despite XD, price moved up......not just a bit (relatively speaking).

Basic cable TV is the main reason for dropped in revenue.
Luckily, premium TV & broadband doing well.
With less spending on capex and paring down of borrowing,
financially, the Trust is getting stronger.
Going forward, they must capitalize on their broadband strength
to capture more business and grow revenue.
We can then expect DPU to improve further down the road.

SGX-ST Release
NCC rejects Da Da Digital&rsquo s proposed transaction to acquire 65% indirect interest in the Trustee-Manager of APTT
&bull NCC&rsquo s decision has no impact on the operations and cash flows of APTT or TBC, nor the distribution guidance of 1.0 Singapore cent per unit for 2021
&bull Araedis Investment Pte. Ltd., an associate of Da Da Digital, has been increasing its stake in APTT remains committed to growing its partnership with APTT and TBC
Singapore &ndash 14 July 2021
APTT Management Pte. Limited, the Trustee-Manager of Asian Pay Television Trust (&ldquo APTT&rdquo or the &ldquo Trust&rdquo ), refers to the announcement dated 11 February 2020.
The Trustee-Manager today announces that the proposed transaction for Da Da Digital Convergence Co., Ltd. (&ldquo Da Da Digital&rdquo ) to acquire a 65% stake in its sole shareholder, Dynami Vision Pte. Ltd. (&ldquo Dynami&rdquo ) has been rejected by the National Communications Commission of Taiwan (&ldquo NCC&rdquo ) in a press announcement today.
The NCC&rsquo s decision will not have an impact on the operations and cash flows of APTT or TBC, nor the distribution guidance of 1.0 Singapore cent per unit for 2021.
Da Da Digital is controlled by Mr Dai Yung Huei, the founder of Taiwan-listed Dafeng TV Ltd. (&ldquo Dafeng TV&rdquo ). Araedis Investment Pte. Ltd., an associate of Da Da Digital, has been increasing its stake in APTT. To date, it has acquired a direct interest of more than 16% in the units of APTT.
Mr Brian McKinley, CEO of the Trustee-Manager said, &ldquo It is business as usual for the Trustee-Manager, APTT and TBC. We will continue to grow the partnership with our largest unitholder, Da Da Digital, which has deep experience in Taiwan&rsquo s cable TV and telecommunications industry. We look forward to tapping the combined management expertise and strengths in driving the business forward. There are synergies to be extracted, including deriving cost-savings from economies of scale, better capital expenditure management and tapping opportunities arising from Taiwan&rsquo s 5G rollout.&rdquo
Mr Dai commented, &ldquo We are attracted to TBC&rsquo s fully owned advanced hybrid fibre coaxial cable network and its wide subscriber base of over 1.2 million. In particular, TBC&rsquo s growth strategy in growing the Broadband business and unlocking the potential of data backhaul shows promise. We are keen to grow Da Da Digital&rsquo s stake in APTT in the mid to long term, while adhering to the necessary regulations in Taiwan and Singapore.&rdquo
The Trustee-Manager is committed to delivering long-term value to unitholders. Over the past two years it has stepped up on its debt management program to lower gearing, so as to better manage debt levels and strengthen APTT&rsquo s balance sheet. With capital expenditure trending down, the Trustee-Manager aims to use excess cash generated from operations to make debt repayments, subject to operating conditions.
The Trustee-Manager is also very focused on executing its Broadband growth strategy, by rolling out data backhaul services, as well as growing TBC&rsquo s Broadband market share. This strategy is already seeing a good measure of success, evident from TBC&rsquo s steadily growing Broadband RGUs and improving revenue.
The Trustee-Manager expects to receive an official notification letter from the NCC within the next week. It will consider its options after reviewing the NCC&rsquo s decision and make further announcements via SGXNet, as and when required.
Unitholders of APTT are advised to refrain from taking any action in respect of their units or other securities of APTT which may be prejudicial to their interests, and to exercise caution when dealing in such units or other securities.
